Dan and I have joked that there is probably at least one line of code I
wrote for class Paragraph still there. (I did the original version in
ST-72 -- a one -pager -- but it has been added to and etc., many times
since by others.) <br><br>
However, there is quite a bit of code still in Squeak from the
Smalltalk-80 release version that went to various companies, including
Apple before the Blue Book was written. And at least some of that was in
ST-76, the original version of which was pretty much designed and written
by Dan (the other three contributors for that implementation were Ted
Kaehler, Diana Merry, and Dave Robson). Larry Tesler soon afterwards
added the first of the code browsers, etc.<br><br>

<pre>Is the birth date of Squeak Virtual machine or the Squeak Image?
Though Squeak
was released in '96, some of the objects in its image must have been
created
long before that. Is there a way to find out the oldest extant object in
an
image?

Dan's "Back to the Future" article, the team started with
an Apple Smalltalk-80 implementation which contained the image and VM.
Maybe there is still some code from ST-80.<br><br>
